He had some mental snowmobile stuff on his instagram stories the other week, of all the stuff to have done it's silly this was how he met his maker.

What is it with snow & motorsport stars?

He was also on the cusp of something big with his partnership with Audi too, this car is something special for the future of motorsport…
